The Dutch Life

Okay I'm not very good at scanning, but I want you to click on the above picture. this is a local magazine that did me a favor and found all the great restaurants in the area. Now do me a favor and tell me the top 5 Mexican restaurants rated in the Lancaster area, I'll wait.

Yeah did you see that!!! Taco Bell! Sweet Heaven where on earth am I? As soon as I told my Mom that, she sent me 2 cases of refried beans from California, she figured I was starved for Mexican food. The 4 other restaurants that somehow made it above Taco Bell don't have great reputations either...food poisoning, fake cheese, and the name Charlie in one of them. I knew moving to the other side of the country would have it's challenges...but I thought that no matter what - Mexican food would be there for me...like a good friend. But no, those damn immigration laws!!! Open the boarders for crying out loud, I'm starving for chips and salsa!!!

Okay, okay okay I need to keep my cool...it's not the end of the world...I can just try a different type of food...you know I love good Italian food...who would they suggest?............................Olive Garden! Gasp! What about seafood, we are close to the eastern seaboard...RED LOBSTER!!! NOOOOO!!!!! (eugie takes a deep breath, drops her head and shakes it side to side slowly)

Okay then, I get it...I will just eat Dutch Country food I hear the Scrapple here is delicious! If you are wondering what Scrapple is, here is what wise old Wiki has to say about it:

Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head). Fans of scrapple sometimes boast that scrapple contains everything from a pig except the "squeal."

I hear the Dutch cooking here is Yummy...I think I'm going to vomit...I just want chips and salsa.

Go open a can of refried beans and get some chips from costco and have a blast and remember that you can always come home for LaMilpas or Valle Sol.which we Just had last night. Just kidding

I miss having you around to make sarcastic remarks with me. You better be there this summer when I come, if not then this time I would be disappointed.

As Marshall would say.... Ewww!! I hope you find a good Mexican restaurant somewhere - there just has to be one. It was funny that there were three good Mexican places in Kirksville!! Of all places...
